Chapter 547: The Altar of the God Worship The three disappeared into the night. As the night deepened, the streets of the imperial capital became less crowded. Jiang Wen and the other two walked along a quiet alley and returned to You's residence. "Is it safe here? But visiting a private house like this might be risky." Yu Shiqi looked around vigilantly. Jiang Wenhearing this, he smiled and said, "This is where we live in the imperial capital. The owner is a kind-hearted person. You can rest assured." Pushing the door open, the old man greeted me with a smile: "My dear, you are back." "Brother Chang, please prepare another room." Jiang Wen ordered, "Also, what's going on in the city recently?" Changnian heard this and welcomed everyone into the house, then lowered his voice and said, "I have heard something about the cult. It is said that the cult has recently built an altar outside the city, which is heavily guarded day and night. I heard..." He looked around, "There are babies crying every night." Jiang Wen frowned. The worship meeting would cause such a commotion. Changchun Zhenren had also mentioned the worship meeting. It seemed that the worship meeting was going to do something urgent. With this in mind, Jiang Wen asked Changnian again, "Do you know what they are doing?"

Changnian shook his head: "I'm not sure, this kind of place is not for people like us to go. But..." He looked around, seeming to want to say something but stopped himself. "Go ahead." Jiang Wen said in a deep voice. "I heard from the beggars nearby that the night before yesterday, a little beggar accidentally saw people from the worship group carrying several large boxes into the altar. The boxes were moving," Chang-nian swallowed his saliva, "and I heard that there was a sound of a baby crying." Li Xiangyue, who was standing by, couldn't help but take a breath when she heard this: "You mean..." "That's the end of the matter." Jiang Wen interrupted, "Brother Chang, please prepare some food, and we'll talk later." After Changnian left, Jiang Wen spoke up: "The matter of the God Worship Society is probably more difficult than imagined. The Imperial Palace is not in a hurry. The God Worship Society is the key. If I am not mistaken, the God Worship Society is preparing to sacrifice babies and do something that is against the will of heaven and earth." "Benefactor, what should we do?" Bai Jing asked. Jiang Wen pondered for a moment: "Tomorrow I will go to Zuixianlou to find Su Mu and see if I can get more information. Yu Shiqi, you continue to send people to monitor the movements of the God Worship Society. Bai Jing." He looked at Bai Jing and said, "You should secretly protect the families with babies. If you find that the worshippers are trying to rob them, you can protect the children first." "I know." The two answered in unison. Jiang Wen finished his instructions and stroked his sleeves. The branches and leaves trembled, as if a woman was responding. The next morning, Jiang Wen came to Zuixianlou alone. As soon as he entered the door, he heard a familiar voice coming from upstairs: "Master Jiang, long time no see." When he looked up, Su Mu was leaning on the railing on the second floor and waving at him. After going upstairs, Su Mu led him into an elegant room. The table was already filled with wine and food, which was obviously prepared in advance. "I didn't expect you to come at this time." Jiang Wen said with a smile. Su Mu poured him a glass of wine: "Of course, in this small piece of land in the imperial capital, if Taishen Palace wants to know something, there is nothing it doesn't know." The two exchanged a few pleasantries, and Jiang Wen got straight to the point: "How much do you know about the God Worship Society coming to the capital?" Su Mu put down his wine glass and said solemnly: "Brother Jiang, this matter is of great importance. After I went back yesterday, I checked the files on purpose."

He lowered his voice and said, "In the past three months, the God Worship Society has kidnapped at least 600 babies." Jiang Wen's pupils shrank: "So many?" "Moreover," Su Mu continued, "these babies were all born on yin days and yin years." "Are they practicing evil magic?" Jiang Wen immediately thought of a possibility. Su Mu shook his head: "It's more terrible than that. I doubt it." He hesitated to speak. "Go on." "I suspect they are refining the 'human pill'." Su Mu's voice was barely audible. Rendan, Jiang Wen’s heart was shocked. Although he had never seen it, he had seen it in "Sacrifice to the Gods". He had kept the strange secret method for a long time, but he rarely read it. It was said that it was a heaven-defying alchemy method created by a monk ten thousand years ago, using infants as materials to refine the elixir of immortality. It was said that someone tried it a thousand years ago, which caused the wrath of heaven and the resentment of the people. Overnight, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers were razed to the ground by heaven's punishment. If this kind of evil pill is really cultivated, I am afraid that the imperial capital will be in great disaster. Thinking of this, Jiang Wen asked solemnly: "Is there any evidence for this matter?" Su Mu smiled bitterly: "If there was evidence, Taishen Palace would have taken action long ago. The problem is," he pointed to the sky, "there are people protecting them up there." Jiang Wen understood what he meant. Who else could make the Taishen Palace fear him, except for the Holy Son of Heaven of Daqian? "What are you going to do?" Su Mu asked. Jiang Wen hesitated for a moment and said, "I need to go into the altar to find out what's going on." Su Mu frowned: "It's too dangerous. The God Worship Association is now full of people lighting lanterns, and is guarded by Taoist masters. If you go there, you will probably be in danger." "Of course we can't act rashly, so we need your help." Jiang Wen interrupted him, "Tai Shen Palace is the orthodox immortal cultivation sect in the world, and it inspects the immortal sects of various religions every year. In this case, the altar for worshipping the gods is also included." Su Mu held the teacup with a lost look in his eyes: "You mean..." "That's right. Enter the altar in the name of inspection." Jiang Wen said with a smile, "This way they will definitely not dare to stop us." Su Mu thought for a moment and nodded, "Okay, if that's the case, it's not impossible. But there are also countermeasures for the worship meeting, so the temple master should make all preparations. I'll go back and make arrangements. Three days later, we will go to the worship meeting in the name of inspection." The two discussed some details before Jiang Wen said goodbye and left. After returning to You's house, he told Bai Jing and Yu Shiqie about his plan. "Is it too risky for Master to do this?" Bai Jing asked worriedly, "What if we are discovered?" "Saint, don't worry. Even the Taoist priest can't stop us. But we still need you to support us outside." Jiang Wen explained, "If the situation is not right, just save the children first." Yu Shiqi nodded: "I will arrange for people to support from the outside." "Also," Jiang Wen looked at Bai Jing, "keep watching those families with babies. I suspect the God Worship Society will make more moves in the near future." Bai Jing responded: "I understand." Three days later, Jiang Wen was wearing a white robe. He disguised himself as a disciple of Taishen Palace and followed Su Mu. The group of people were all disciples of the Great God Palace. They all held magical instruments and had stern faces.

When we got outside the city, we soon arrived at the altar of the chapel. From a distance, the altar was towering into the clouds, and the surrounding area was heavily guarded. Su Mu showed the token of the Great God Palace, and the disciples of the God Worship Association did not dare to stop him. They could only stare at the few people and had to let them go. Entering the altar, Jiang Wen immediately felt a chilly breath. The air was filled with a faint smell of blood, which was nauseating. "Special Envoy Su, please come this way." A man who claimed to be an envoy of the God Worshipping Society led the way. Jiang Wen followed behind, observing the surroundings secretly. Suddenly, he heard a faint cry. "Wait." Su Mu suddenly stopped and looked at the people in the worship meeting coldly. "What's that over there?" The divine envoy's expression changed slightly: "That is..." Before he finished speaking, Jiang Wen had already strode over. He pushed open a secret door and the scene in front of him made him look embarrassed. Dozens of babies were locked in iron cages, some of them were already dying. Various magical instruments were scattered on the ground, and the walls were covered with strange spells. "Stop!" the divine envoy shouted sternly. Jiang Wen turned around and saw that dozens of monks from the God Worshipping Society had surrounded them. "We are monks from Taishen Palace. What are you going to do?" Su Mu looked around at the monks of the Worship Society and snorted coldly. "Please don't blame me, Special Envoy Su. I just want to explain something." The envoy of the God Worshipping Association stroked his beard and sighed. "Oh? Then I'll listen to what the envoy from God has to say." Su Mu said with a smile. (End of this chapter)
